Aerial photos of wildfire at Concepción, Chile shot by crew of 747 SuperTanker

On Saturday during the continuing siege of wildfires in Chile the 747 SuperTanker made four sorties, flying over 2,200 miles and dropping 76,800 gallons. Two of the missions were to help protect the city of Concepción. The video (except for the second one) and photos were shot by the crew on the aircraft.

Here is a video shot from the ground by Moises Gueicha:
